The Train the Trainer on Escape From Height (Abseiling) 2 day course provided by MCL and delivered by Jesper Eriksen was clearly structured and and very engaging, Lots and lots of reinforcement cleverly integrated into learning activities and delivered by a excellent instructor. Very interesting, a  fantastic trainer in Jesper  who showed he is a consummate professional who knows the topic inside out.
